Summary
Arthroscopic Raman Monitoring of Cartilage Content for PTOA Diagnosis and Chondroregenerative Treatment Response PTOA is a common, incapacitating, chronic condition among individuals who sustain traumatic joint injuries. Currently, even after “successful” surgical reconstruction of the trauma-induced pathoanatomy, supplemented with chondroregenerative interventions, cartilage degeneration continues to progress. Therapies to improve PTOA clinical outcomes are being developed, including chondroprotective disease modifying drugs that mitigate or reverse degeneration of cartilage lesions and chond
